FME (Facegenics Midface Expander)
The Facegenics Midface Expander (FME) is a newer approach that focuses specifically on midface expansion and forward facial growth. Unlike traditional palatal expanders that primarily widen the jaw, FME aims to bring the entire midface forward while also achieving expansion. This approach addresses not just airway concerns but also facial aesthetics, particularly for patients with midface deficiency or flat facial profiles. FME represents an evolving area of expansion treatment.
